Dark or light hair?

Can’t be bothered to hide my identity, if you know me hi nice to see you!

Recently gone dark for winter but I’m not sure whether to go lighter again next time - which do you think suits me better? Thank you!

I love the dark

Lewiscapaldiscat · 25/10/2025 13:43

I was wonder about doing this.

Both nice but prefer lighter - more fun

Catpiece · 25/10/2025 13:43

The lighter but both look lovely

Overtheatlantic · 25/10/2025 13:43

I love the dark too, but you’re pretty with both!

QuickNameChange22 · 25/10/2025 13:44

You look good with both, but I think I prefer the lighter hair. Are you wearing fake tan though? I think the blonde works better with more tanned skin but blonde hair + tan is a lot of upkeep!

Pieceofpurplesky · 25/10/2025 13:44

You are beautiful. I think the lighter suits you better.

smallsilvercloud · 25/10/2025 13:45

Both look good on you but lighter looks more youthful

ResusciAnnie · 25/10/2025 13:45

Hmm I like both, if I was looking for negatives I think the dark washes you out and the blonde makes you look older but really they both suit you and look ‘right’! I see why you posted - tricky dilemma 😁 what’s your natural? That usually suits best!

dollyblue01 · 25/10/2025 13:46

Both gorgeous colours and suit you, but I think the blonde highlights your features better.

user1476277375 · 25/10/2025 13:47

The dark is lovely but I think the lighter colour brings out the richness of colour in your eyes

idri · 25/10/2025 13:48

I think the blonde makes you look younger, although both suit x

Thunderytoday · 25/10/2025 13:54

I like both but the lighter makes you look brighter!

poshcrisps · 25/10/2025 13:54

I usually prefer dark hair however I think the lighter hair really suits you.

hattie43 · 25/10/2025 13:56

Ooh that’s hard because both colours are lovely , sorry not much help

lifeonmars100 · 25/10/2025 14:02

Both really suit you, lucky thing!

sonicthehuman · 25/10/2025 14:04

I think you look more glamorous in the lighter shade but that could be because you have more make up and look very different against the darker not made up pic.

UnicornsAndRainbows2025 · 25/10/2025 14:20

Thank you all! Yes in the lighter one I had fake tan on and slightly heavier make up as I was going out, in the dark haired one I’ve been in bed all week full of cold! I think hopefully it’ll get a bit lighter with washing then I might get some highlights put back in on my next appointment x

I think both look lovely. Are you naturally dark? I actually prefer darker. I think you’d suit a richer or more chocolatey darker colour. And a warmer colour lipstick.

ThatGlimmeringSea · 25/10/2025 14:42

Both look nice but I prefer the lighter, I think because it’s not as solid a colour.

AsAliveAsYouNeedMeToBe · 25/10/2025 14:46

Light 100%, you look great in that pic. Darker makes you 10 years older and mousy. Doesn't suit you.

ByTwinklyDreamer · 25/10/2025 15:04

Both look nice, maybe the blond suits you a tiny bit more.

overstimulatedhermit · 25/10/2025 15:05

Both look nice but I’d say lighter looks better on you

TenGreatFatSquirrels · 25/10/2025 15:09

Dark. Darker than both of those I’d say. Your colouring is far more Mediterranean so I’d always veer towards what seems natural

alexisccd · 25/10/2025 15:19

Lighter

Favouritefruits · 25/10/2025 15:21

you’re one of those people who suit any colour, both look great but prefer the dark. You look younger even with the bad lighting
